Is Sedation Freely Available?
Hello,
I have a cracked back tooth and I am in a lot of pain. I also have a HUGE phobia of the needles used and to a lesser part the pain in general, is sedation freely available?
I just need some help and for someone to let me know. Thank you.
Needle phobia can be a very real barrier to getting the treatment you need.
IV Sedation is available, but that requires having a needle in your arm first, although lots of people can do ‘in the arm’ but not in the mouth. You need to google Dentist/IV sedation/your area/your county
to see where you might find this service. Hope this helps, Jenny.
